もっと深い意味を含んでいるけど...

ってか、琵琶を弾ける外国人なんて、マジ珍しくない？！笑

Don't worry I'm just playin with u. You actually play very well. How long have u been living in zombie land?

We need more gaijin like you who actually have the balls to enter the mainstream rather than merely teach English and nurse pints at the local English pub.

@menwhowearblack i lived in osaka, one day please visit kyoto, in the spring. one time i was with my former mother in law, and we were traveling around some place in kyoto, geisha district or around there. we passed this little bridge and a flutter of sakura petals were carried on the wind. it looked like a hurricane of pink snow. like almost if u turn a snow globe upside down how the snow swirls and flutters. that memory will always be in my heart and mind.

fine version of plum blossoms, what cd is it from ?

[petrustella]

So fabulous, so beautiful!

There is a kind of sorrow for the impermanence of things, of the weather, and of the space and beauty of the shrine, already a little compressed by the blocks of cement around...

Still much love from the rose color of the three and for the fall of flowers or snow...
